on the occasion of my wishing

i wish that

it was socially acceptable to wear aprons. at all times.
stinkbugs were on the list of endangered species
rain only happened at night
and
i wish that
children always outlived their parents
cancer allowed dignity in death
that car wrecks were an impossibility
and
i wish that
my husband
my boys
my parents
my siblings
my nieces and nephews
could know that i love them so much
that i am the teensiest bit overwhelmed
and
i wish that
i could fully grasp the nearness
that god arranged for jesus and me

Dear KendallI wish all marriages will be as happy as mine. Saturday was our 28th wedding anniversary. I also wished that all the children in the world could have parents that loved them. Over via Michelle's. I hope you had a blessed Easter.Mia

I confess I have picked up my kids in the car line, apron still on! I wish I could wear them at all times, too - however, though I'm a bit tired of cold rain - I love a rainy day that allows me to sit on the porch:)I wish? I wish that teen sons still hugged, smiled freely, didn't want to leave the nest before they were ready. I wish I could dance gracefully these mothering steps in the midst of the challenges:) Wishing you blessings and wishes fulfilled:)
